Halloween Report 2017

The Moon adds a ghostly glow to the Duncan Street Halloweenscape.

21st Annual
Report: Halloween at Duncan Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia

I
have tracked Halloween trick-or-treaters at my doorstep in West End
Halifax since 1996. This year's numbers were up significantly with some dramatic shifts in popular costumes with the dominant vampires, zombies and princess costumes all but disappearing, pushed out by skeletons and ninjas.

Given your taste I think you will enjoy "Pirates of the Atlantic". I worked to separate the pirate facts from the pirate myths and deliver some good stories about the pirates who actually came to Canadian waters. I think you will find the real pirates every bit as villainous and interesting as the familiar mythical ones.
